Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hiya,
I am a 52 year old mother of 2 children (22yr + 19yr) who have now flown the nest. I grew up in London though spent 13 years living in Strasbourg France, and more recently in Bristol, UK.
I have had various professions, my formal education is as a Podiatrist (feet) but I have also worked in scientific administration and conference/event organisation, owned a flower shop, exhibited my art, have studied Gestalt psychotherapy and am passionate about holistic health and working with horses therapeutically.
I find myself in the position where I have the freedom to travel for a few months.
I have done lots of house/pet sitting over the last year and recently joined Workaway as a way of continuing to explore but with the company of other people, and the additional interest of learning/sharing skills.
I am a ‘worker’, happy to have a go at most things. I am independent, really enjoy meeting new people, but also need time alone. I am happiest outdoors and am pretty hardy, I easily find joy in simple things.
I am happy to cook, clean, dig, fix, paint, care for animals, and people…. I am in good physical and mental health and am allergic to drama!
I’m looking forward to some enriching experiences and encounters and the opportunity to explore/try out new places and ways of living that I imagine in my future!
I look forward to meeting you,
Lou : )
